A nation without a backbone is bound to be submerged by the world trend, and a backbone without great spirit will be broken when standing outside. The opportunity for the Chinese nation to catch up with the world's advanced civilization can be said to be achieved overnight, and "science and technology are the primary productive forces" is what we call a resounding day, but we ignore a multiplier of productive forces-national spirit.
The spirit of a nation is like a person's backbone. If the backbone of a nation lacks this spirit, it is certain that this nation is entering its own recession, and the superficial glitz is only a fleeting thing. What China lacks most today is the martial national spirit, and the status of soldiers cannot be qualitatively improved. In this sinister and unpredictable international environment, who will contribute to national sovereignty integrity and security interests in various fields?
Although the "law of the jungle" has been universally spurned by people all over the world, there is still a long way to go before international politics can bid farewell to barbarism completely. Although economic development contributes to the improvement of comprehensive national strength, economic security needs more reliable support from military forces. It's hard to imagine, without the support of military power, what the maritime trade would be like; It is hard to imagine what history would be like if DaSong had a firm martial spirit and strong economic and scientific strength.
Turning over the history of the world, the martial spirit has provided great impetus for the prosperity of this nation. It is said that the Spartans in the Peloponnesus did not farm, work or do business, and the whole country practiced a military system in which all the people were soldiers. Sick and deformed babies were thrown into the ravine, and the strong ones began military training at the age of 7 and were discharged at the age of 60. Sparta as a whole is like a military camp, which requires the whole people to have the spirit of courage, tenacity and strict discipline. The aim is to ensure that a few Spartans who always admit defeat will rule the vast majority of Helos and beria Westerners. Isn't the final victory of the Peloponnesian War, which lasted for 27 years, the final portrayal of this national warrior spirit? Germans, regarded as barbarians by the Romans, also had the spirit of national martial arts. Germans believe that war plunder is a noble cause, and those who fought bravely and suffered the most injuries should be respected. Everything that can be bought with blood is glorious if it is bought with sweat. There seems to be a description of Germanic warrior spirit in Caesar's Gaul War. Even the demise of the Western Roman Empire was inevitably associated with German mercenaries.
Perhaps due to historical limitations, neither Spartans nor Germans can permanently safeguard their national interests by pure force. However, it cannot be denied that the sudden emergence of Qin played an important role in the history of China. The ancestors of the Qin people were a branch of the ancient Qiang people, and were regarded as barbarians by the Central Plains countries because they were far away from the Central Plains. However, since filial piety, Shang Jun was appointed, made great efforts to govern and accumulated wealth, and eventually became one of the five tyrants in the late Spring and Autumn Period, laying a solid foundation for his eventual reunification with China. This is the origin of Qin people's martial spirit. Farming and war supported their economic life and war expansion, which contributed to the first unified situation of "Chinese integration" in China history. Thanks to the Legalists, you sent Shang Yang to the State of Qin, which can make the country's will highly condense. Thank you for your bullying. Your attack from Tomochika is the origin of China's wisdom. Thanks to the spirit of martial arts, legalism finally forged an invincible weapon for your country.
Willpower without wisdom is weak and wisdom without will is dangerous. Experience at home and abroad tells us that a highly dialectical unity of will and wisdom is the only way for a strong nation, and today's China needs a national spirit to firmly unite the whole. Will and wisdom can show a spirit, which is the spirit of martial arts! Have you noticed that in Chairman Mao's China, the whole country is so enthusiastic about the construction of an industrial power. The saying that an educated youth goes to the countryside to accept rural transformation has made many people excited, and the improvement of willpower has made people willing to accept the hardest life, but they are still smiling; Have you noticed that in Chairman Mao's time, China and the whole country were in a very urgent and poor state. Before and after the U.S. imperialism, and then under the predicament of Su Xiu, they were still comfortable and unhurried. The miracle of two bombs and one satellite has just pushed the great wisdom of the Chinese nation to a new climax, and the excavation of wisdom has made a former "sick man" glow. Revolutionary soldiers in Chairman Mao's era are the unity of these two forces, and the glorious deeds of revolutionary soldiers "rolling minefields, plugging loopholes and bombing bunkers" are not uncommon; Revolutionary soldiers have brought inferior equipment to the extreme in North Korea, Vietnam and Myanmar. What contributed to these cases? Is it not the martial spirit within the whole country? Older uncles and aunts, can a touch of olive green in that era drive you crazy? At that time, it was glorious for older grandparents to have a child who was a soldier! I remember my grandfather told me that once in the 1950s, he and his colleagues went to the village to help the school collect parents' books and went to a student's home. They were about to ask for books, but their parents took out a "revolutionary martyr card". It turned out that the boss died in the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea. You see, my grandfather and his colleagues left without saying a word, because they knew that the state clearly stipulated that "the families of soldiers who died in the revolution have special treatment." This was the great martial spirit of a country at that time. Soldiers are considered to be the greatest profession, but now? Many soldiers who died in Vietnam's counterattack are still buried in unmanaged and overgrown cemeteries. It is often heard that some wounded soldiers ask the government for pensions; Soldiers are regarded as stupid soldiers and poor beggars. The army has been infected with all the local bad habits and forgotten its glorious tradition in business. This is not a healthy and vigorous emerging power in the world! I remember a netizen left a message saying, "In the past, when we were fighting, the army leaders secretly sent money to our home, and now the soldiers quietly put the money into the leader's pocket." "After reading it, my heart is bleeding.
Traditional national defense construction is mainly composed of software, hardware and people who use them. However, now I think that national defense construction also "represents the development level of the most advanced productive forces in a country", just as I said at the beginning of this article that "science and technology are the primary productive forces" and the national spirit is the multiplier of this productive force, and the multiplier of national defense construction is the national martial spirit. If everyone thinks that soldiers are the most glorious profession in the whole country, everyone yearns for this profession, hoping to make all the sacrifices without regrets for this profession in their lifetime, unlike the current situation of "looking down on soldiers, not knowing soldiers, being a soldier is a post", the whole people wholeheartedly carry forward the national spirit of martial arts, so that people who join the army can feel their hardships are understood, glorious and great by the people; Let people who have not joined the army feel that being a revolutionary soldier is extremely sacred and proud; Let the people of the whole country cheer for the soldiers, let China finance give welfare to the soldiers, and let the imperialists fear our soldiers!
To carry forward the national spirit of martial arts is not centered on "army building", but to let the people express their natural understanding of the military and civilians from the will, take pride in the core interests of the army in defending national territorial integrity, sovereign independence, economic security and other national wars and peacetime, and let ordinary people full of iron will and wisdom enter the army and receive new baptism in the revolutionary melting pot. Our "martial spirit" is different from North Korea's "military and political first", which the Korean people cannot do because they are afraid of American imperialism and Japanese aggression. North Korea's current fiscal revenue is almost 1/3, so it is forced to invest in military construction instead of people's food and clothing and economic construction. Our central government really needs to make more "sacrifices" in the treatment of military personnel. It is essential to increase wages, bonuses and subsidies, but the whole country, the whole society and the whole people should start from the details, so that soldiers can feel that they have not been promoted because the state has allocated more funds, but that they naturally feel all this in their daily economic life. For example, we have been doing a good job, giving soldiers discounts and places when purchasing tickets at some stations and theaters. The most natural thing is often something that warms the heart. Unlike the upstarts who get courtesy from others because they get rich overnight, this courtesy is actually not a courtesy to people, but a worship of money. This needs to be gradually removed in the process of social development. A heartfelt concern is far higher than a one-night stand for money.
When the martial spirit of the nation and the status of soldiers are promoted to a certain extent, the country will surely usher in stronger cohesion, and then our will and wisdom will surely condense into the most powerful and stable productive forces!
